Overhead SlamUpward Strike≈70%

of your damage on a boss comes from Overhead Slam and Upward Strike. Worked out from the client data, and it matches what Korean guides say about the pair.

Rage BurstLunge Stance10 s

is the Overhead Slam window after Rage Burst. The cooldown is 30 s with its specialty, and with Lunge Stance at 20 (1 s off every cooldown per crit) the window hardly ever closes.

Upward Strike85–97

Upward Strike hits in 60 s on a training dummy: the number to aim for to know the loop is running right.

How to read the numbers

  • Skill level (1–40, stigmas 1–25) is not your character level. Up to 10 it is bought with skill points (21 points per skill); past that it comes from Daevanion nodes, gear (rings, gloves) and arcana. Stigmas level with shards: 75 to reach level 20.
  • Specialties. Every active skill has five. Options 1–3 unlock at skill level 8, option 4 at 12, option 5 at 16. How many can be active at once: Lv 8 · Lv 12 · Lv 20 . They are written by number, the way players write them: 345, and the border shows the unlock level (grey Lv 8 · violet Lv 12 · amber Lv 16). The number is the position in the game's Specialty list, top to bottom. For Overhead Slam that is 1 Absorbs 0.7% HP · 2 Changes to AoE Skill · 3 Adds [Upward Strike] Chain Skill · 4 Critical Hit on hit · 5 Remove cooldown.
  • Stigmas have four specialties (at levels 5, 10, 15 and 20), and every unlocked one works at the same time.
  • Damage is the base number from the client at that skill level. The in-game tooltip already includes your Attack: Overhead Slam at level 11 shows 2,678–2,808 in game against a base of 1,425 (about ×1.9). The ratio between skills is the same either way, so both work for comparing them.
  • A Critical Hit is ×1.5 in PvE and ×1.25 in PvP; Double is ×2; Perfect hits at the weapon's maximum attack. Double and Perfect multiply every skill alike, so they do not change priorities.
  • Icons are from the game client. Upward Strike has no icon in the database, so its icon was cut from a screenshot of the Skill window.

Rotations

What to press, and why

Numbers are at the recommended skill levels (mostly 20; stigmas 15–20). Times such as “~0.6 s” are approximate: the real pace depends on Combat Speed, ping and frame rate.

Boss · max DPS

The whole rotation stands on one thing: open Overhead Slam with Rage Burst and keep the loop Overhead Slam → Upward Strike → Rending Blow turning, each hit cancelling the animation of the one before it. Everything else is a buff that multiplies this loop.

Right now: Overhead Slam below level 16 (5 s cooldown)

This is how a Gladiator plays at character level 45 with skills at 10–12 and stigmas at 1–5, before Overhead Slam has specialty 5, “Remove cooldown”.

  1. Zikel's BlessingLunge Stanceat the start
  2. Ruinous Blowevery 45 s
  3. Rage Burstevery 30 s
  4. Overhead SlamUpward StrikeE, then E again
  5. Crushing WaveFrenzied Waveevery 20 s
  6. Keen StrikeKeen StrikeRending Blow↻ LMB, LMB, RMB
  1. Overhead Slam → Upward Strike: as soon as Overhead Slam lights up, press it, then press the same key again right away: Upward Strike is waiting there (the chain lasts a few seconds). Never skip Upward Strike; it hits slightly harder than Overhead Slam itself (at level 11: 1,496 against a base of 1,425).
  2. Rage Burst on cooldown (30 s): it turns Overhead Slam on for 10 s, and with a 5 s cooldown you fit E, E in twice.
  3. Ruinous Blow on cooldown (45 s): a base of 7,296 at level 10, the biggest hit in the kit, plus 20 s of +20% PvE damage.
  4. Crushing Wave → Frenzied Wave on cooldown (20 s): a base of 1,001 + 1,192, worth it on a single target too.
  5. Mocking Blade on cooldown (20 s): a base of 1,694 at level 11, and on a target without immunity a knockdown as well, which means one more Overhead Slam.
  6. The rest of the time, LMB, LMB, RMB (Keen, Keen, Rending Blow), not LMB alone: Rending Blow at level 10 has a base of 538 against Keen's 322, and it cancels the animation. Keen refunds the mana Rending spends; if mana runs low, press LMB more.
  7. At the start, and whenever they come back: Zikel's Blessing, Lunge Stance, Lifestealing Blade.

A typical mistake on a training dummy: in 62 s, 12 Overhead Slams but only 6 Upward Strikes, and not a single Rending Blow or Ruinous Blow. The missed Upward Strikes are about 22,000 damage (−12%), and one Ruinous Blow is about 14,000 in game, 7.5% of such a minute in one press.

How to put this on keys: the skill bar layout. To stop thinking about the order, build a macro on RMB by priority (Ruinous Blow › Rage Burst › Overhead Slam › Rending Blow), put Keen Strike on LMB, and hold both buttons. After Overhead Slam the same slot becomes Upward Strike, and the macro presses it on its own.

    Specialties: +50% damage to the Stagger Gauge, +10% PvE damage, +50% Multi-Hit. It casts on the move, so turn it on while you walk up to the boss.

  2. −2 s
    buffLunge Stance+20% Combat Speed · 20 s (Lv 20)

    The level 20 specialty: every Critical Hit has a 50% chance to take 1 s off every cooldown. Overhead Slam always crits, so the whole rotation comes back roughly twice as fast.

  3. 0.0 s
    burstRuinous Blow10,810 (Lv 20) · up to 4 targets · 25 stagger

    With specialty 2 it hits from 20 m, so it is your dash to the boss. The Prepare for Battle buff for 20 s: +20% PvE damage, +100 Critical Hit, +15% status chance.

  5. ~1.2 s
    partyLifestealing Blade3,697 (Lv 15) · up to 4 targets · 10% life drain

    Specialty 2 gives the whole party Predation for 20 s: life drain and extra damage. This buff is why parties invite a Gladiator.

  6. 1.8–10.6 s
    loopOverhead Slam → Upward Strike → Rending Blow3,408 + 2,384 + 1,022/1,160

    Overhead Slam always crits (2,272 × 1.5). In the 10 s window: about 10 loops at 60 hits a minute, 14 at 85, 16 at 97. That is about 79,000 / 112,000 / 128,000 base damage with crits counted.

Cooldown stat 20%, no Lunge Stance acceleration: the next Rage Burst comes at 24.6 s, which leaves about 14 s of filler between windows. With Lunge Stance at 20 and about 30% cooldown stat, Rage Burst is back before the window closes and the filler stretch all but disappears.

After the opener: priority

  1. Rage Burst the moment it is back (30 s cooldown; 24 s with 20% cooldown stat). Every cast is 10 more seconds of the loop.
  2. Ruinous Blow on cooldown (45 s). If Rage Burst is 2 s or less from coming back, wait and fire both together.
  3. Lifestealing Blade with every second Rage Burst: 60 s is 2 × 30 s, so they always line up.
  4. Lunge Stance (60 s) and Zikel's Blessing (120 s) right before the Rage Burst that goes out with Lifestealing Blade.
  5. Overhead Slam while it is lit, then Upward Strike, then Rending Blow.
  6. Outside the window, Keen Strike ×2 → Rending Blow (LMB, LMB, RMB): +200 MP for −120 MP. Against a boss immune to crowd control, every hit has a 7% chance to open Overhead Slam again.
  7. Focused Block against boss attacks that can be parried: +250 MP (Lv 15) / +300 (Lv 20), and +13% PvE damage for the party for 20 s (the Experienced Counterstrike passive at level 20).

Upward Strike33.4%
Rending Blow / Smashing Blow15.3%
Murderous Burst (passive)9.0%
Ruinous Blow3.0%
Rage Burst1.8%
Lifestealing Blade0.8%

The Ruinous Blow hit itself is only 3%, but its +20% PvE damage buff is up 56% of the time and adds up to 11% to everything. That is why it goes out on cooldown for the buff, not for the hit.

Mana

  • Rending Blow and Smashing Blow: −120 MP each (−96 with specialty 1); a crit refunds +50 (specialty 5).
  • Keen → Rupture → Wrathful: +100 / +100 / +120 (+20% with specialty 1). The full chain pays for about 2.7 Rending Blows.
  • Ruinous · Rage Burst · Lifestealing: −250 · −100 · −200.
  • Focused Block (on a Parry): +250 (Lv 15) / +300 (Lv 20), at most once every 20 s.

At 85 loops a minute, Rending Blow eats about 10,000 MP a minute and crits refund about 2,500. Korean players with two pieces of the Magic arcana start running dry around the second minute of a fight, so bring mana potions, take specialties 1·3·5 on Rending Blow, or fill the gaps with LMB, LMB, RMB.

Your role in a party: Keen Strike and Rending Blow raise Enmity, while Lifestealing Blade, Murderous Burst and Zikel's Blessing strengthen the party. Since the Korean patch of April 22, 2026, the Gladiator in PvE is a synergy tank rather than a pure damage dealer.

The first ~4 s deal about 100,692 base damage to a pack of 4: 5,144 + 43,240 + 23,920 + 13,600 + 14,788.

The Murderous Burst passive adds another 1,364 × 4 = 5,456 (Lv 20) every 5 hits, and in AoE that goes off very often.

Mana for the burst

1,150 MP: Ruinous 250 + Wrath Wave 200 + Crushing/Frenzied 250 + 250 + Lifestealing 200. If you run short, take specialty 2 on Crushing Wave (+50 MP per crit).

Control and stagger

Two separate jobs: break a boss's Stagger Gauge, and keep mobs or elites without immunity locked down.

The Overhead Slam → Upward Strike → Rending Blow loop does 12 points of gauge (18 under Zikel). At 85 loops a minute that is about 17 a second, more than any single skill.

Gauge burst (the party goes for the break)

  1. Zikel's Blessing: +50% damage to the gauge for 17–20 s (specialty 1).
  2. Wrath Wave: 75.
  3. Ruinous Blow: 37.5.
  4. Rage Burst: 30, and it opens Overhead Slam.
  5. Lifestealing Blade: 30.
  6. Mocking Blade: 22.5 (on a boss the animation changes, but it still hits the gauge).
  7. The loop Overhead Slam → Upward Strike → Rending Blow: about 25 a second under Zikel.
  8. To finish: Ankle Slice / Leaping Slam / Rush Strike, 15 each.

The first ~3 s: 75 + 37.5 + 30 + 30 + 22.5 = 195 points of gauge, then about 25 a second from the loop.

While the boss is staggered

  • Sword Aura Rampage takes Rending Blow's place in the loop: 1,183 (Lv 20), no cooldown, Multi-Hit (specialty 4).
  • Specialty 5: every hit takes 1 s off every cooldown. Ten hits are 10 s off Rage Burst, Ruinous, Lifestealing, Zikel and Lunge, so the burst is ready again when the stagger ends.
  • Destructive Impulse (passive): +532 (Lv 20) on every hit against a staggered target.

Together that is up to about 16 s of hard control on one target (4 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3), plus the seal and the root, provided the game does not shorten repeated control. Test it on your own target: Korean sources say nothing about diminishing returns. How to space the control so it does not overlap is shown on the “maximum control” timeline in the PvP tab.

PvP 1v1

A Gladiator wins PvP with knockdowns: knock the enemy down, wait for them to spend Defiance, knock them down again. Below are two versions, a fast burst and maximum control. The PvP key layout is on the skill bar.

The enemy pressed Defiance Defiance

  • Defiance removes knockdown and airborne and grants 5 s of Tenacity (immunity to statuses); since the Korean patch of January 28, 2026 it also gives −50% damage taken.
  • For those 5 s, do not spend control: hit with Blade Toss, Rending Blow, or Overhead Slam if the Rage Burst window is open.
  • The moment Tenacity drops, Mocking Blade (20 s cooldown) and the combo from step 3. The enemy's Defiance is now on a 41–60 s cooldown.

When they control you

  • Defiance (41 s cooldown at level 20), then the chain Wrath Burst (specialty 1): 2,098 and a 3 s knockdown on the enemy, then carry on from step 3.
  • Against teams with a lot of control, the stigma Armor of Balance: +50% resistance to impact statuses (+50% more with specialty 4).
  • The passive Survival Willpower: +55% status resistance at level 20, and under control +25% PvP tolerance for 5 s.

PvP numbers are level 20 skill bases before the PvP coefficients. In PvP a crit is ×1.25 instead of ×1.5, and the PvP bonus on buffs is half the PvE one (Ruinous +10% instead of +20%).

There are no stigmas before character level 22, so you turn Overhead Slam on with knockdowns: Mocking Blade, Rush Strike, and later Aerial Snare → Forced Fall.

On a single mob (from level 14)

  2. Ruinous Blowfrom level 14
  3. Mocking Bladeknockdown
  4. Overhead SlamUpward Strikeoff the knockdown
  5. Aerial SnareForced Fallfrom level 12
  6. Keen StrikeKeen StrikeRending Blow↻ finish

The combo on one mob

  1. Leaping Slam: a leap of up to 20 m.
  2. Ruinous Blow: the biggest hit, plus the buff.
  3. Mocking Blade: a 3 s knockdown.
  4. Overhead Slam (then Upward Strike, once you unlock specialty 3 at skill level 8).
  5. Aerial Snare, then Forced Fall (the chain opens at skill level 12), then Overhead Slam again.
  6. To finish: Keen Strike ×2 → Rending Blow.

On packs: Leaping Slam → Crushing Wave → Frenzied Wave → Rending Blow. Rush Strike also knocks NPCs down (100%), which is one more Overhead Slam.

Where the skill points go

  1. Overhead Slam → Rending Blow → Ruinous Blow → Crushing Wave: first to level 8 (which opens the first specialties), then to 10.
  2. Levelling a skill from 2 to 10 costs 1+1+1+2+2+2+4+4+4 = 21 points.
  3. Levels 11–20 come from Daevanion nodes, options on rings and gloves, and arcana. Take Overhead Slam, Rending Blow and Ruinous Blow to 20 first.
  4. Stigmas: levels 1–5 cost 1 shard each, 6–10 cost 2, 11–15 cost 4, 16–20 cost 8, for 75 in total to level 20 (35 to level 15).

Skill bar · the Mastery tab

Which skill goes on which key

Above every key the game keeps a stack of four rows. Press the key and the skill in row 0 fires; if it is on cooldown or not usable right now (no knockdown, no stagger), the game takes row 1, then 2 and 3. So conditional skills go above plain ones: they fire only when they can, and the rest of the time the key falls back to the spare skill. The small icon in a slot's corner is a chain the same key fires on the next press.

  • row 0 fires first, and it is the one you see on the bar in combat
  • rows 1–3 are the fallbacks when row 0 cannot fire
  • a chain on the same key

PvE · boss and farming

  • 1Leaping Slam › Rush Strike: closing in; if Leaping Slam is on cooldown, the same key gives Rush Strike
  • 2Mocking Blade: the knockdown that turns Overhead Slam on; on a boss it is just a strong hit
  • 3Crushing Wave: 3, 3 is Crushing Wave → Frenzied Wave, on cooldown
  • 4Ruinous Blow: on cooldown: the biggest hit and 20 s of +20% PvE damage
  • 5Focused Block: against boss attacks: a Parry, MP, and PvE damage for the party from Experienced Counterstrike
  • 6Wave Armor: the sixth stigma: Wave Armor; for farming, Wrath Wave, or Blade Toss
  • 7Lunge Stance › Zikel's Blessing: 7, 7 at the start: Lunge Stance, then Zikel’s Blessing
  • 8Rage Burst › Lifestealing Blade: 8, 8: the Overhead Slam window, then Predation for the party
  • QAerial Snare › Ankle Slice: mob control; hardly needed on a boss
  • EOverhead Slam: the moment it lights up: E, E is Overhead Slam, then Upward Strike
  • LMBKeen Strike: auto-attack: Keen → Rupture → Wrathful, restores MP
  • RMBSword Aura Rampage › Rending Blow: Sword Aura Rampage fires only while the boss is staggered; the rest of the time this is Rending Blow
  • SpaceDefiance: breaks control; the second press is Wrath Burst (specialty 1)

PvP · 1v1

  • 1Leaping Slam › Rush Strike: closing in; Rush Strike after an Evade has a chance to knock down
  • 2Blade Toss: −30% Defense and −70% healing; 2, 2 is Blade Dance (30% knockdown)
  • 3Crushing Wave: damage between control
  • 4Ruinous Blow: open the fight from 20 m: +10% PvP damage, +15% status chance
  • 5Tenaciousness: 3 s of immunity, so the combo is not interrupted
  • 6Focused Block: the Parry
  • 7Lunge Stance: or Armor of Balance against teams with a lot of control
  • 8Rage Burst: the Overhead Slam window for 10 s, even without a knockdown
  • QForced Restraint: a 7 s seal: the enemy cannot cast
  • EMocking Blade: a 4 s knockdown: the start of the chain
  • LMBKeen Strike: auto-attack
  • RMBAerial Snare › Overhead Slam › Rending Blow: after the knockdown just hold RMB: Aerial Snare → Forced Fall → Overhead Slam → Upward Strike follow on their own, and the rest of the time it is Rending Blow
  • SpaceDefiance: out of control, then the second press is Wrath Burst, a knockdown back

For farming packs, use the same PvE layout with Wrath Wave in slot 6 (an AoE knockdown, 50 stagger). If you play with the in-game macro, it takes whole lines of slots; see Macros. The row order (row 0 first) follows a Korean explanation of the line system on Inven, and the advice to put Sword Aura Rampage above Rending Blow comes from a guide on dcinside.

Calculator

Work out your own loop

Set how many Upward Strike hits you land in 60 s (the DPS meter shows it), your crit and your cooldown stat, and see where the damage comes from and how the cooldowns fall. Results are in base units from the skill tooltips with crits counted, before Attack and buffs.

Upward Strike is the second hit of Overhead Slam (specialty 3): after Overhead Slam the same key hits Upward Strike. As many Overhead Slam loops a minute, as many Upward Strikes. 60 without the cancel · 80–85 is good · 95–97 is the top (Korea, August 2026).
From Combat Analysis (Ctrl + X)
Enter both numbers and the slider above sets itself.
In Combat Analysis: the “Critical Hits (Proportion)” row.
Korean endgame is about +100–110%: with ~30% cooldown stat, Lunge Stance stays up the whole time.

The calculator needs JavaScript. For the default setup (85 loops a minute, 60% crit, 20% cooldown stat, skills at 20) the share table under the boss rotation gives the same result.

—one Rage Burst window (10 s)
—per minute
—share of Overhead Slam + Upward Strike
—MP a minute on Rending/Smashing, after crit refunds
SourceCasts/minUnits/minShare
BuffReal cooldownDurationUptime

The model: every loop is Overhead Slam (guaranteed crit from level 12) + Upward Strike (from level 8) + Rending or Smashing Blow in turn. Rage Burst from level 5 has a 30 s cooldown and a guaranteed crit from level 15; Lifestealing Blade from level 15 has a 60 s cooldown. Murderous Burst is every 5th hit and does not crit. The Keen Strike filler is not counted, so the calculator describes the stage where Overhead Slam is already turning. On the chart, Rage Burst waits for Ruinous Blow when that is 2 s or less from coming back.

No Upward Strike row in Combat Analysis?

If the table shows only Keen Strike, Rupture Strike, Wrathful Strike and Murderous Burst, you are hitting with the LMB chain alone and Upward Strike is at 0. To get it going:

  1. Overhead Slam is at skill level 8 and specialty 3, the Upward Strike chain, is in its slot. Before level 12 there is only one slot, so it has to be 3.
  2. Overhead Slam lights up only when it can be used: the target is knocked down (Mocking Blade, Rush Strike on NPCs, Wrath Wave), or for 10 s after Rage Burst (a stigma), or with a 7% chance per hit on a target immune to control.
  3. After Overhead Slam, press the same key again: Upward Strike is there now (0.5 s cooldown).
  4. Until skill level 16, Overhead Slam keeps its 5 s cooldown (specialty 5, “no cooldown”, opens at 16), so Upward Strike tops out at 12 a minute (60 s ÷ 5 s) and in practice lands fewer. 85–97 is endgame, with Overhead Slam at 20, Rage Burst and Lunge Stance at 20.

Macros

How to set up the buttons

The in-game macro is bound to a line of slots: while the button is held, the game presses the highest-priority skill in that line that is ready, left to right. Turn on skill queueing everywhere.

Simple (Sen, first video)

  • RMBRuinous BlowRage BurstOverhead SlamRending BlowKeen Strike
  • LMBKeen Strikehold together with RMB
  • Upward Strike does not need its own place in the macro: after Overhead Slam the same slot becomes Upward Strike, and the macro presses it on its own.
  • A black shadow behind your character means the animation cancel worked.
  • Rending Blow always sits above Keen Strike. Keen Strike comes out once Rending Blow has specialty 5 (+50 MP per crit).

In Sen's test, the same character did about 160,000 DPS without the macro and about 200,000 with it.

  • Hold everything together: outside the window you get the auto-attack with cancels, inside it the full cancel loop.
  • Keep the frame rate at 140 or higher, 200+ is better: how many hits the loop fits in depends on FPS.

After the Korean patch of August 26, 2026: Overhead Slam on a mouse button, Rending Blow in the in-game macro. The result was 95–97 Upward Strikes a minute instead of 74.

The Korean guides were written for the Korean and Taiwanese servers (patches of April 22, August 26, 2026 and others). Where they disagree with the client of September 18, 2026, this page takes the client's numbers. For example, the May guide has the Ruinous Blow buff at 10 s and +15%, while the client says 20 s and +20%.
